YowCH saw a rainbow from his office window back on 5 July 2019.
We bought some stools to put in YowCH’s office as spare seats, Samuel helped assemble them.
YowCH bought a sewing table for Grace as her birthday present.
But a normal chair is a bit too short, so he bought a high stool, too.
Esther was the worship leader for Youth Sunday this year:
Her voice was clear and the delivery of the songs, bible reading and prayer was very nice.
The team went through the Saturday service and the 2 Sunday services.
On Sunday, Grace swam 20 laps, David and YowCH swam 10 each, Joseph swam 8 and Samuel swam 4 (Esther was leading worship). After swim, we had football training. David helped out on the field as part of his school volunteer community service. After training, we stayed on and watched the football friendly match between The Bible Church, Singapore and Mount Carmel Bible Presbyterian Church. David played for TBC,S for a short while.
There was a case of a Mt Carmel payer getting a bad cramp, and YowCH helped him off the field.
Our church was in red. We lost 1:4.

Some of the food we ate recently:
Ah Chiang porridge at Tiong Bahru.
Food Panda delviered Brinda’s Indian and Guzman Mexican.
Japanese restaurant and Burger King.
Home cooked IKEA meatballs and durians!
YowCH bought the 1983 TVB Legend of the Condor Hero 射鵰英雄傳 set (59 episodes) in 3x 15 DVDs. This is with Felix Wong Yat Wah and Barbara Yung Mei Ling.
Apart from YowCH and Grace, David and Joseph were very interested in the show. Nice story with good acting and good effects for 1983. We watched it in Cantonese, but English subtitles.
YowCH was in the camp committee and Joseph attended the church juniors’ camp from 21 to 23 June 2019. Click photos below for the page.
Grace and YowCH attended the Church Mid-lifers’ Camp from 15 to 17 June. Joseph and Samuel tagged along, while Esther and David attended the youth 3D2N prayer camp in church. Click on photos below for the page.
We took leave from work on Fri 7 Jun and Mon 10 Jun for a short trip to PJ. Click on the photos below to go to the page:
Esther had a performance at CJC today,she sang with the choir, and the big-band (Music Ministry).
Grace brought the boys to watch.
After the performance, YowCH drove the family to Star vista Morganfields for Esther’s birthday dinner.
We ordered meats and seafood.
And of course, cakes for Esther.
Some updates:
Esther had a stay-over in CJC on Friday night, while David had a 2-nights stay over in church. Esther then joined David in church on Saturday night.
YowCH was teaching cajon to the church Juniors over Saturday and Sunday.
Samuel can now do 1 full lap (50m) in freestyle. Although his kicking is still not strong and his stroke is not nice, he managed to complete the lap.
Here’s a little problem of having a sun-roof, you get to see the bird shit on the car.
After swim, we had soccer practice as usual, and Joseph sprained his wrist while playing as goalkeeper. Nothing serious. YowCH did the bandage, to help immobilise and let the sprain heal faster.
We had dinner at Carrara Cafe, and bought some Mao Shan Wang during for supper.
Here’s Samuel trying to lift 6kg of durians. Being a bumper crop this year due to hot weather, MSW was selling at $16/kg rather than the usual $28/kg.
Samuel can help to open durians now, he is quite good at it.
A family photo without David, as he doesn’t even like the Durian smell.
After durians, we watched a nice thriller-superhero movie “Glass” at home.
Over several weeks, we have replaced the lights in our home with LED at many locations.
The cove lights are replaced with LED tubes.
The kitchen lights with LED panel.
The back yard florescent tubes with LED tubes.
The main bedroom with switchable (cool-warm-all) LED panels.
The boys’ room with an LED panel with glare-reducing mask (they broke the glass cover several months ago), while the girl’s room is a naked LED panel within the glass cover.
We kept the living, dining and computer rooms on fluorescent tubes, but removed the warm yellow light tubes, hence we can have very bright white lights throughout the house.
Joseph was very helpful in giving a hand to YowCH as he set up the lights with some minor re-wiring works to cut off the starters and to bypass the ballast.
